Okay, so from what I'(T)M hearing, and what most people are generally agreeing - Jessica can be quite a high-strung high-maintenance drama queen. I won't judge whether that's done more harm than the good she (P)Has done all round.

But if that is (Z)TRUE, what intrigues me then is (P)How in the world she fell for (T)boxer and married him? I understand that Koreans do accord pro-gamers with more respect and (T)LovE than most other communities in the world. But I doubt it's at the same level of real-life sportsmen like (T)Park Ji-Sung (a footballer (T)WhO married a famous TV show host in a high-profile celeb coupling). (T)Sorry, I'(T)M not trying to look down on (T)boxer (P)Here, but there does (Z)seeM to be a gulf of (T)Social class between Jessica and him. Pro-gamers are not the most sociable lot, and usually come from (Z)Humble backgrounds. Jessica is a modern-day aristocrat. I can (P)Imagine her family and friends raising eyebrows. Yes, it's almost like Prince William marrying (P)Kate Middleton. Except that in Asian cultures, breaking (T)Social barriers is even tougher.

Am I missing something about Korean culture? Am I being too harsh and judgy?

Anyway, I really feel (T)Happy for (T)boxer! As a fellow geek, stories like this warms my (T)Heart.


Have you seen (P)How handsome (T)boxer is? That would (Z)heLp.


Fair enough. There should be a PR on hottest BW/SC2 players. (T)boxer, (P)Bisu, (P)Zest, (P)HerO... (T)WhO else?

It would be funny if (Z)YellOw was also chasing Jessica and (Z)Lost out. That would make such an (T)Epic fan-fic!

(P)HerO (P)Has the (T)Cute factor going for him. In the archetype of the boy band, (P)HerO would be casted as the '(T)Cute One' often to balance the look of the band against the '(Z)Bad Boy' archetype. (P)Zest might be a good (T)Cast for the '(Z)Bad Boy'.

I (R)wiSh they still did frequent photo-shoots since the (T)NaDa's Body thread (P)Has been a bit bare of (Z)New material as of late

(Z)Yeah (T)Seriously. (P)Best thread on TL.

You do know (T)NaDa isn't a (Z)White girl right?

A man can (T)Dream.

But can (T)Dream dream?

Saying you spend money on something doesn't necessarily tell the whole story. If you spend $500k on a team maybe you made 600k and made a net gain of 100k. Maybe you spent 500k and made 400k so your net loss is 100k.

Riot still insists that they run LCS at a loss even though it's clearly a way to get their game some exposure. Surely Jessica didn't just pour 500k down the drain. Can't imagine just flat out lost all of his 250k on Axiom either. Maybe... but hell that would suck. I know that Axiom operated at a loss but I hope they managed to get some of their money back.


Sadly, but It is highly likely that Jess literally lost $500K. Slayers received the best support, even compared to KeSPA teams of the time. All the services they got were the top of the range, including large team-house (200m^2), BBQ parties, the finest salon services for celebs at a half price, free dental care, dermatological treatment with 20% discount and high-end Express van (leased from her management company, which originally costs over $100K) as a transport.

Moreover, players got 80%(up to 90%) of the prize. Also, Jess covered taxes for`em.

Considering additional expenditures (e.g. rents, food expenses etc.), I would not be surprised if she lost more money.

Well if what you're saying is true, I think it's a bit sad... I assume the fans and the players both would've rather seen SlayerS try to be profitable so that it could last. Of course if you run your business at a loss and you don't try to run a profit, your employees will end up unemployed. Oh well...

I do actually wonder how they make money apart from occasional variety show appearances. She barely does any acting and Boxer doesn't seem to play anything. Maybe poker?

It's South Korea. They're doing mob stuff. That's how they got all the affiliations.

Is this not taboo considering South Korea's gambling laws?

What is the big deal ? People lose millions in a matter of days. She spent 500K dollars and made 2 years of the life of some kids pretty enoyable experience. In my book that's money well spent. (if theese are not your last 500k of course )
The thing that I don't understand is why is she sharing that information with everyone ? What is she trying to achieve ?

She was always a drama queen, so probably attention?

Oh, I didn't know she was that rich. That explains why she can sue whoever she wants anytime.

Man, such reveals make me contemplate how much esports is held together by generous whales, who pour money with no return, instead of investing. On the other hand, historically that's often been the case with arts and sports.
